The Raccoon Pit was a hexagonal structure near the north side of the tunnel of the stone bridge. The vintage postcard below (postmarked 1911) shows the
cement base with metal rods extending upward. As with the other animals, the raccoons were brought in seasonally from Pittsburgh. They were specially trained
to do tricks for park visitors.

All that remains of the Raccoon Pit today is the cement base and even that is heavily worn.
